• Is this an outtake from Beyoncé’s upcoming Vogue spread? Rumors began to swirl late last year that the superstar mom would be covering the March issue of the celebrated fashion magazine. When this image hit the net last night the buzz was reignited, with claims it was shot by famed photographer Annie Leibovitz. We see Beyoncé in full blown royal regalia, thoroughly embracing the dual title of Queen/King that has been bestowed upon her by fans and the media in recent years. There has since been no word from Vogue or team Bey to deny nor confirm the claims, but this shoot seems to be in line with Leibovitz’s aesthetic. Time will tell! (The YBF)
• Bon Qui Qui is the star of the latest T by Alexander Wang video. Who is she you ask? A young lady serving you ghetto fabulous realness in all her tri-color hair, gold hoop wearing glory (for reference, see her Mad TV debut here. Hilarious). There are special appearances by A$AP Rocky, Alessandra Ambrosio, Shannon Click, Simon Doonan, and Natasha Lyonne. I just… You know what? Give it a watch and share your thoughts. (Alexander Wang)
• Vogue has gotten its first male editor-in-chief! Well, Vogue Thailand that is. The recently launched glossy saw its inaugural issue fly off shelves in a matter of days; a triumph due in large part to EIC, Kullawit Laosuksri. Their debut cover featured a model simply styled in a chada, the traditional tall coronet. Of this sartorial decision he said, “For the Thai edition, we also want to present Thai women’s cheerful attitude and lifestyle. For the first issue we wanted a chada, which is internationally recognised and has a sophisticated design. We searched the archives of the master of the craft, Chakrabhan Posayakrit, and then asked Phillip Treacy, a world-renowned maker of headdresses, to create a chada we could display on our cover.” The result was stunning!

• Anna Wintour’s boo, J. Shelby Bryan has found himself in the midst of a $1.2 million lawsuit. Bryan, a former Clinton fundraiser from Texas, has owed the IRS said fees since 2006. He is “also pursued for outstanding Texas property taxes, and has had energy companies he owns in the state chided by local authorities for falling behind on their financial filings,” reports Telegraph. There are concerns that his legal woes may thwart Anna’s chances of being appointed US Ambassador if nominated by President Obama. Oh, Anna, girl, get him together…. FAST! (Telegraph)
• Victoria Beckham will be launching Icon, a capsule collection of dresses. The former Spice Girl turned designer covers the March issue of the magazine and gave them exclusive details. According to ELLE, Icon will be unveiled in February, just in time for the re-launch of victoriabeckham.com . The collection was the designer’s response to the high demand for some of her sold-out dresses. “Together with my personal edit of the SS13 collections I wanted to be able to offer an exclusive product on the site that was in keeping with the signature aesthetic that’s very special to me. I introduced Icon in response to requests for designs from as far back as my first collection from customers, and I wanted to find a way to offer them key dresses from the archive, but in newly reworked colours and fabrics,” she says. It will naturally be without flaw. (ELLE UK)
